Rest assured, the durability and integrity of these stones are not compromised by the weathered effect. Choosing a weathered option over a standard version is purely a matter of personal preference.

Looking After Your Paving

We strongly recommend purchasing Azpects Easy Seal along with your paving. This sealant is the best way to ensure that the original colour of your paving remains fresh and bright for as long as possible. Over time, the Fernlea Raj Green Sandstone Paving will naturally weather, fading to even lighter browns and beiges, which will still provide a cosy look for your home. Since these paving slabs are naturally formed, they are prone to weathering, and the colour will gradually fade.

For maintenance, it is advised to jet wash your paving every six months to clear away any accumulated dirt and debris.

What is the Difference Between Limestone and Sandstone Paving?

Limestone and Sandstone paving share several similarities, most notably their natural origin from Indian stone quarries.

Limestone Paving is typically the more cost-effective option; however, it requires regular maintenance to keep it in optimal condition. It's important to note that limestone is more brittle than sandstone, even though it is more economical. Once laid, both types of paving have comparable durability.

Limestone will wear over time, regardless of whether a sealer has been applied. This means maintaining its original colour requires some effort. In contrast, Sandstone Paving requires less maintenance.

At Stone Zone, we offer a variety of Sandstone and Limestone paving options. Sandstone is available in sawn varieties, while Limestone comes in Square Edge options.

To ensure that the original colour of Fernlea Raj Green Sandstone Paving is retained, sealing is recommended. However, sealing is optional for sandstone paving.

What is the Difference Between Limestone and Porcelain Paving?

Limestone and Porcelain Paving have some key differences worth noting. The most significant distinction lies in their formation: Limestone is naturally formed in stone quarries, while Porcelain is manufactured. This production process allows Porcelain Paving to be available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Porcelain Paving is ideal for those who prefer a chic and modern look, while Limestone Paving suits those who favour a classic and understated aesthetic.

Limestone will naturally weather over time, with its surface texture and colour gradually fading. In contrast, Porcelain Paving is much more resilient to external factors and retains its original colour and finish for an extended period.

It's also important to consider maintenance requirements. Limestone needs to be jet-washed every six months to keep it in good condition, whereas Porcelain Paving only requires a simple hose down. When choosing between the two, consider how much effort you are willing to invest in maintaining your paving.
